Have you flashed jag6ernaut's battery fix?
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
Yup, I did his fix before installing the 1% battery. I ended up flashing a recovery to get it fixed.

I think I'll try running a few battery cycles before reinstalling his fix and the 1% mod.

I probably screwed something up since I'm doing all my mods piecemeal, instead of flashing whole ROMs.

I just installed Watchdog this morning to see if anything is draining my battery. In the last 30 minutes I've had something called Linux Process come up using 50% and 43%. Anyone know what this could be?
[Atrix 4G General] Norcalz71:
followed the guide after upgrading to alien 4 + theme + 1.77.30P radio....and so far my battery life potentially seems worse?

Watchdog continuously sets off alerts for facebook, android system, and espn score center for using between 27-32%. Is this normal for facebook/score center? I have the updates set as far apart as they go (4 hours i think?) for facebook.

Also, what is the android system likely from? I was at a football game all day yesterday and maybe checked my phone 4 times, otherwise it was in my pocket, and between 9am-ish and 6pm I went from 100% to 12% battery. Took 3-4 pictures and a 20 sec video and that was about it.

Also, the 1.77.30P radio seems to have maybe wrecked battery life and data speed?
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
I think you need to flash the battery fix after the 1% mod.

Yeah, that's definitely not a good battery life. I heard that the latest facebook app is killing battery on the phone. Do you have data on all the time?

Also, install BetterBatteryStats and you will have more info on what's draining the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] sakdroid:
I tried the Procedure, but when i tried to install the jug6ernaut's CWM battery fix from my SD card, I get

E: Signature verification failed error.

So I continued further steps without installing..

Any suggestions?

I am on Stock ROM, Unlocked Bootloader and Rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Are you on 2.3.4 or 2.2.2? Do you have the latest CWM installed?

You can still do the calibration without flashing the battery fix. In fact, if you don't have battery jumping issues, you don't really need to flash it.
[Atrix 4G General] sakdroid:
I am on 2.3.4

I did rest of the steps and cleared cache except battery fix.

Still I have battery jump issue on restart.

How do find version of cwm on my atrix?

I installed when I unlocked boot loader and root when we had gb updates
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Your cwm is definitely outdated; install romracer's latest
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
The newest version is 5.0.2.3. Here is a link to romracer's current CWM. His recovery seems to be the most recommended.

*Edit* Sorry for the double post. Vangelis was too fast for me.
[Atrix 4G General] Mbam:
This is normal?

I have done the procedure and still does not give me results, above the battery lasted me 3 days to install so roms but this happened to me, my Atrix has 2 months of life is practically new

sorry for my bad english
[Atrix 4G General] pride_kr:
PLEASE, could anyone help me out?

I flashed the Home Base #2, with the HoneyComb theme. Before that I had a Stock Froyo 2.2.2 that lasted 12 hs usually.

So, the first day after these process, my battery lasted 18hs, that was really good for me. Strangely in the second day it lasted 10hs....

It is really amazing that you guys can stick it up to 3 or 4 days.

I´ve done all procedures. Now my Atrix fully recharged won´t go past 99%.... then, when I ran the Watchdog app, it keeps telling me about a Xorg (something related to Linux, it think) process every 5 seconds, but I can´t uninstall, neither freeze it.....

Still I´ve got the iddle issue, that keeps consuming my battery life, like pacman.

Please, could anyone help me out?
[Atrix 4G General] theintelligent:
In my personal opinion, the battd located in bin file is responsible for the incorrect status of the battery. I have seen this in my HTC days.

So maybe just use the lib file and see how it goes.
[Atrix 4G General] v.k:
I followed this guide yesterday, as I wanted to improve my battery: max voltage was 4.17 mV, and battery charge reduced from 100% to 91% by sitting there overnight. I wanted better results, as described in the OP message: 100% -> 94%, and 4200+ mV. Now I have the same voltage at 100% (4.17 mV), but charge reduces from 100% to 80% by sitting there overnight :( I'm using Alien #4 rom with the stock kernel. As the voltage remains the same, maybe jug6ernaut's battery fix is the reason of this problem?
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Hello, first of all what do you mean by 4.17mV?

Second, your first statistic doesn't seem bad (100% -> 91% overnight), but the second one is definitely too much.

Do you overclock? Do you keep wifi or data on? Is there an app that could be draining your battery?

If BetterBatteryStats shows 4200mV at 100%, it means your battery is calibrated properly and something else is draining it.
[Atrix 4G General] v.k:
Hi, 4170mV of course, eg 4.17V :) The problem seems to be gone after the next recharge - now I have 100% -> 95% overnight, that is acceptable for me :) But I get 4200mV only when the phone is plugged in for a long time, and after unplug voltage drops to ~4160mV. Is this normal? My phone is not overclocked, data and wifi connections are off and cpu speed is limited to 216MHz when the screen is off
[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
That's normal, after 95 I believe you only get a "trickle" charge so it will take longer to go from 95-100 than it did 90-95 for example.

You want that drop off after unplugging. Keeping the battery charging for too long can deteriorate the life of the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Yes, great battery life on CM7 is possible :p

Same rules, apply as with standard roms - recalibrate after installation, do a memory fix, don't install battery hogging apps. :o

Proof of concept screenshots:
[Atrix 4G General] xavieroid:
Mine was Atrix 4G AT&T version, N_01.77.15P radio and i had, first Aura ROM then i swithced to CM7 as soon as it is Ba2tF.

After the first night i left my phone on, in airplane mode, it went from 80% to 60%. I was shocked to see a whooping 20% drop without usage and without gsm signal. I tried flashing a different radio and went on with N_01.100.00R_europe_retail. I guess it helped a little but nightly loss was still about 12%.

Now after completing all these steps, i lost just 5% in airplane mode and 7% with gsm on overnight. BTW all data connections, all other wireless stuff even auto screen orientation was off and i keep them all off all the time anyways. So for me, this experiment was a huge success!

In step 10, i left the phone charging only about 1,5 hour as it was already 10% and the initial charge level showed 6% just like the phone used in this guide

I did not use "battery calibration" or "watchdog" since they are both used just for informational purposes. I had my info that something was wrong with the battery, so i just followed the guide. Besides, after playing with it a little, i saw that watchdog is one of the apps that drinks a lot of juice, so...
[Atrix 4G General] v.k:
Yet another atrix battery stats screenshot with a lot of time in "Awake" state when the screen if off. Why does this happen with our phones? Is there someone that doesn't have this issue?

BTW, it seems that I have found the ideal radio :) It is 100 australian. It consumes only 4% overnight with 2G only and data enabled.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
I have tried messing with some of the processes to make the phone sleep properly (like notifications process), but eventually gave up.

I have great battery life even with intermittent awakes. Besides, it's been like this on every rom. I am not sure if making it sleep fully would even help that much.
[Atrix 4G General] Adamik25:
My phone doesnt recognize the battery when I put it back - step 8.

What should I do?

EDIT:

I figured out the way how to deal with it.

You unplug and plug again the charger it will say that battery is 100% BUT

If you unplug, plug again, The green dot will flash(saying battery is 100%), then phone will start booting. You need to pull battery fast out and back in before the battery logo will show up. It worked. My phone said suprisingly that my battery is only 5%(!) and started it charging again ^.^

cheers
[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
What about extended batteries?

I have a 3500 mah. No big deal...

On stock firmware before any flashing I had always a full day heavy use on the stock battery and 2 full days on the extended battery. When the extended battery got down to 20% I would reboot and it would show 100% again. Now on cyanogonmod and pi it shows 1% for a few hours before it dies. Maybe it has something to do with the 1% mod?

I'm going to try this today with the stock battery. Get everything sorted and charge the extended battery externally.

I'm on the verge of flashing back to stock everything. 1% kills me because I never know when its going to die.

I use Pandora or iheartradio all day at work. Atleast 6 hours of playback. I might be a good candidate to report back on how this goes. I have tried cwm wipe battery stats and also battery calibration.

In essence after completing this fix I should be able to flash at 100% battery and not run into this problem again?
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Do a calibration on stock battery and you should be good to go. Thing is, you will never have accurate battery statistics if you are using two batteries of different capacities. The battery stats file logs holds the info for your current battery, that's why you see it getting to 1% when you switch to the extended one.

From there on, it should live for on 1% for quiet a bit.
[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
I'm doing this tutorial on the stock battery. What I don't get is why on the stock firmware I could reboot and the battery stats would change from say 40% to 100%

I realize my battery didn't last long possibly on picrust because of faux kernel. And cyanogenmod seems to be leaving programs hanging sometimes. Noticed a powerful drain after using weather channel one night.
[Atrix 4G General] Adamik25:
I have some problem with my battery. Before calibration I had 4200 mV and following this guide nothing changed thou.

I am experiencing heavy draining of battery. I just installed watchdog now and instantly it started spamming allerts about proccess called X(or Xorg) I believe its an android os itself(it has the same icon as I see from your screenshoots). It takes like 50% of cpu, and after whole day it can take more battery than my display!(I will give a sc tomorrow after whole day of using).

Changing 2.2.2 T-mobile UK stock to OrangeFR 2.3.4 didnt help. Now i am on Aura rom and it's still draining like hell. I'm kinda newby but I run out of options here i guess.

Also my phone heats very easily. For example normally temperature is around 30 degrees but after ten minutes of using adobe reader it jumps to 43 degrees. So i guess the proccessor is overdoing or something cause it's just a pdf :/.

Can anyone give me some advice about this? Maybe kernel?

When I Installed OrangeFR from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169409

I also used the kernel for my version d00100.

But with installing Aura i got faux one so i dont think that's kernel either.

Maybe I should try install Cyanogen?

Edit:

Don't know if it matters but I bought a used phone so i kinda dont know it's history. Maybe something is faulty? But except the battery every seems ok.

I experienced some random reboots but only after factory reset when I tried got through the motoblur thing. None in normal using or after that.
[Atrix 4G General] ears1991:
radio 1.100 practically doubled my battery over using 1.95 with cm7
[Atrix 4G General] Adamik25:
I checked and I have N_01.92.00R radio. I never flashed a radio, I found out that installing is the same way like everything else but isnt it risky?

Is every radio compatible with every rom/kernel etc?

Can I hard brick the phone with radio? :d

Thx for quick answer
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
You can ALWAYS brick! Flashing a radio through cwm is fairly harmless but you don't want the flashing to be disrupted. Always careful, full battery etc etc.
[Atrix 4G General] Adamik25:
Yeah i know that there is always a risk but like I said, I never flashed a radio and it seems like the most important part of phone in some way so I am just making sure ;) Just finished charging so wish me luck ^^
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Luck is not a factor!! ;-) Flash ahead skipper!

(how did it go..?)
[Atrix 4G General] Adamik25:
Nothing is changed ;s

I found out this topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296957

They say here that it's webtop related but i dont use one. I dont even have hdmi cable or dock.

But i will try this fix, maybe it will help.

One guy there said:

,,For now, I just went into recovery console , and formatted /osh. Significant improvement in battery life, and no more alerts from Watchdog about Xorg too."

But I have no idea what is /osh and how I should format this so for now I will try the webtop fix.

This webtop fix is like 200mb! What the hell is that. It's bigger than my rom.

Edit:

The webtop fix seems to get rid of a Xorg problem. I will tell in next few days if battery life has improved.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Xorg - is the graphics server, so webtop could likely be related.

If it's not webtop related, it could be something from the graphics category - chainfire, launcher, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
Battery life still sucks. Maybe its my rom. Maybe I use the phone too much. Maybe there's too much crap installed. I didn't buy the phone to have it sit here on idle like most of these screen shots!

That's my 3500mah battery.... heavy use.
[Atrix 4G General] justflorin:
People need to stop thinking so much about battery percentage and consider battery time.

The screen is the biggest impact barnone. I get 3 to 4 hrs of screen time...be in web browsing, emailing, or just playing a game.

I'm at 2hrs with 40 percent remaining...I could probably make that last for another 10 to 12 hrs but then I'm not using my phone...pointless.

What do I do you ask..nothing special, I do use green power now instead of ultimate juice because there are far less wakelocks.

[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
Battery percentage explains everything!

I know after this fix my phone lost 6% overnight 7 hours... that's in airplane mode.

Took my phone off the charger this morning and in 30 mins I lost 3%

I honestly expect a miricale from my phones battery. I know I've had this battery (extended) last my 2 days straight over the weekend. But that was before I unlocked it and flashed it. Of course cm7 is eating at it which I can tell. I have a lot of apps. But I just want this battery to last a full day. Honestly thinking of making a backup than going back to stock, install all apps, and compare my battery stats. Time to decide what's better. A custom rom or battery life.

I might like having 10& battery increments better anyways!
[Atrix 4G General] pride_kr:
Wow, this is a highlander battery...

I did everything like you said (Im on a CM7 weekly)

I realise it went better than my last Home Base ROM, but your battery stats seems like a far away dream for me.... do you use juice defender, set cpu and stuff??
[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
Random use day on stock firmware stock battery battery life was around 13 hours with 4 screen on. Didn't screenshot but that's about right. I had 6 hours screen on with extended battery. Haven't tried it yet
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Wow... that sounds... bad..

CM7 is definitely not the issue, since it always gets me through the day even on heavy usage.

No, I don't use JuiceDefender and I don't overclock. It's probably importatn to mention that I keep wifi / data off unless I use them (which doesn't happen often, like, once a day).

Definitely sounds like you can improve your battery life. The stock battery should last about 5 hours of video playback (screen on time) The extended battery should be around 10, since it's double the capacity.
[Atrix 4G General] leperkuan:
Im on my extended battery today... I've already met the 5% mark after 4 hours screen on.. rebooted to 70% battery this is with the stock firmware unlocked and rooted...

That has to be the best thing about to stock firmware is that I can reboot after it shows my extended battery dead and it resets my stats. I actually know what I have. Now I am 40% battery with 5 hours of screen on. Keep in mind this is actual usage! Testing... browsing... online gaming... modern combat and uno. Wifi on but using 4g (or else modern combat wont connect)

Looking into changing some settings in the firmware for battery size.

Either way this guys guide is an awesome quick fix. Normally after quite a few cycles through battery life this problem fixes itself. Or like me having 2 batteries and an external charger. Seems like the external charger takes it to 100% everytime.
[Atrix 4G General] dragoncius:
Just completed the guide and wow. Problems solved. Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] johnusesandroid:
I tried this and its great so far.

Just wondering though, warchdog is always flagging "Base System" going over the 20 threshold. It's usually at 30 to 50 but I've seen it over 90 a couole of times too. Is this normal? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
So, "Base system" is being flagged while the phone is asleep?

You can configure Watchdog to monitor system sub-processes, so it will tell you which service exactly is using the CPU.
[Atrix 4G General] johnusesandroid:
I got this setup and it's saying that "suspend" is the culprit. Is it having trouble trying to suspend the system or something? Or maybe waking up from suspension?

Any tips on figuring out the exact cause? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Strange issue. Never had it happen on the roms I used. :confused:

Quick googling found that many Evo users are having the same problem -

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126

It seems that something is waking app the phone.

Which rom are you using? Is there an app you use that can be waking up your phone while it's asleep? Also, try rebooting if you haven't.
[Atrix 4G General] johnusesandroid:
yeah I just saw that thread (and many others). I was about to edit my previous reply, I didn't wanna look like I'm not doing any research :D

Anyways, only app I could think of that wakes my phone is Xtreme Alarm.

I'll do some more digging. It's not really a problem anyways, battery is pretty good for me. I can go for two days without charging on light to medium use. It just bothers me that this thing pops up on Watchdog everytime

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] ibrahimsengul:
I bought my Atrix 3 weeks ago. My previous device was also another Motorola, Milestone.

When I first started to use Atrix I found that the battery was draining so quickly even I didn’t install any apps yet. It was becoming 1% in 70 minutes with full display and running default apps.

I tried to full battery several times, did factory resets and finally went back to shop. The shop replaced the battery with another new one.

Still it happened same problem. Then they changed my device with another new one. It was same, too.

I would give it back to shop but last time I decided to discharge it until it turns off.

At this point I found that discharging takes long time after it became 1%.

For example by heavy using it becomes 1% in 70 minutes, then it takes at least 200 minutes more even I watch videos via Youtube, play games etc..

It means in total it takes at least 4,5 hours with full display and heavy usage. That’s OK for me as battery life.

But I want my battery meter show correct percentage. Then I can be able to know when it will turn off.

I tried battery calibration several times. I search a lot about this problem but found nothing. Probably people thinks that their battery life is too short.

So cannot find solution.

Summary: My Atrix’s battery meter immediately drop to 1% and then runs 3 times longer than previous 99%. PLEASE HELP ME TO CORRECT MY BATTERY METER DISPLAY.

Do you think that your battery fix way helps me?

Please see details of my Atrix below:

[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
so ye i tried the method form the OP, somehow when i pulled the battery after it was 100% full in charge mode only the phone didnt show any battery missing icon for a minute or so, so i inserted the battery and waited another minute and nothing happened, than i pulled the usb and reinserted it and the phone woke up and showed 100%

than i went to recovery cleared batt stats and went into cm7 that i have installed and it showed 96% full, now its charging turned on and it seems to be at 97% now, but the battery voltage is at 4200mV so i think it should be all fine, or?

Battery Prob,

Hi

I refilled my battery to full and calibrated with Battery Calibration and it shows 4mv at 100% Something is realy wrong.

Now im let the phone full discharge. I even cleaned Battery file via Battery Calibraion APP.

But why is it show 4mv?
[Atrix 4G General] DeathBase:
Great Job, my battery Life is better 'cause it, Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Razorless:
Nice guide, but I think it is more complicated than it has to be.

Here is my easymode:

I am quite sure this does the same trick, because the phone has like a "battery memory" and pulling the battery erases it. Even if your phone turns off due to lack of power, the battery is not dead. It still has some juice for that "memory", because a battery never discharges fully. Otherwise it would die, like forever.

Correct me if I am wrong :)
[Atrix 4G General] DannyBiker:
It may have been brought up since the OP but before checking Battery Calibration, it's a good idea to install CurrentWidget and install a widget on the desktop to check that once 100 % is reached, it's actually 100% charged. Even though it's at 100 %, it often needs an half-hour to show a "0" value on the widget, meaning that the battery is FULLY charged.
[Atrix 4G General] jaysonsantos:
Thank you!
[Atrix 4G General] bihslk:
After everything done as said battery shows 100% 0.004 v hahaha :-)
[Atrix 4G General] terminator1983:
i would also like to know about this issue bcoz i am facing the same with my new atrix which i bought last week.

[Atrix 4G General] Razorless:
You could try to root/unlock your device and install recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

and then do a super wipe:

Afterwards you can install whatever ROM you want. Stock (see fruitcake thread) or custom (see, well the forum).

It may be a bug in your ROM since it appeared on multiple devices
[Atrix 4G General] terminator1983:
Thanks for the replay i have followed almost all the steps and flashed roms CM7 stable,CM7 ICS FINAL and Darkside on the device i was still having the same issue so i decided to flash a .sbf and i downloaded it from xda according my device version but problem is still there.
[Atrix 4G General] Razorless:
Did you follow all battery calibration steps? And did you all the "fastboot-wipes"? If yes, well, you could try another kernel or radio, although I doubt that it will help. Otherwise, I am out of options, sry :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Completely discharge phone, wipe battery stats before it turns off, boot into recovery, wipe battery stats again, charge with the phone turned off.
